Council Finances
Below are our financial documents. For finance policies, please click here.
The Council’s financial year runs from 1st April to 31st March, with the budget being prepared in November for approval by Full Council in January.
- Our underlying principles in managing our finances over the next year will be:
- The Town Council will investigate alternative sources of fundraising, where possible.
- Unallocated reserves of between 10 –15% of expenditure will be maintained to cover any unforeseen/unexpected costs.
To ensure that any services taken on or developed will have a cost neutral impact on the budget unless the Town Council decides to employ a higher standard of service.

Yateley Town Council welcomes small grant applications of up to £1,000 from local organisations, voluntary groups and charities. The grant can be used for a project or piece of equipment, but not for ongoing running costs, and must be for an activity taking place in the future. The Council’s Finance & Policy Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving grant applications. Grants will only be made to charities, voluntary organisations or constituted groups for the benefit of the area covered by the Town Council and that will contribute positively to the life of people living, working and visiting the areas of Yateley, Frogmore and Darby Green. The Town Council will only provide funding to assist organisations that are not based in the town of Yateley or in Frogmore or Darby Green, pro-rata for local residents using that service. The Council publishes a list of grants it has awarded over the last few financial years.
Please ensure your grant application fits the policy before you submit it and double check that you have included the additional information requested. Please note that there may be a delay in considering your application due to the timing of Council meetings.
The Council publishes it’s expenditure reports monthly, which shows all expenditure over £500, including contractual payments (excluding staff salaries and other miscellaneous small payments, which are detailed in the Council minutes).
